GENERAL BULLER'S RESIGN ALTON

The official announcement has been
made that General Sir Redvers Butler
has resigned his post Of Under Score
tary for ireland. It has long been un-
derssood that Sir Redyors c0ntem-
plated this step. One need not look far
for the causes which led to his resgna-
tion. The peculiar style Of warfare che
Tories have pursued against Ireland is
not just in accordance with the tastes
of tie General. Fighting defenceless
women is not exactly in his line Of
business. Besides this, it is no secret
that Sir Redvers is not very sure, after
what ha has seen during his residence
in Ireland, but that Ills sympathy is
somewhat with the Irish people. AL
though he has the reputation Of having
the heart Of lion, he has conscientious
scruples against doing anything he
knows to be wrong. His report to the
Government on the condition OF Ire
land did not suit the Tories. He faitll-
fully and accurately reported all the
poverty and squallor he found in the
country, and recommended 1nerciful
and remedial measures. This report
opened the eyes of the ministry with re-
gard to the manner of man whom they
were dealing, and they Immediately
proceeded tc garble and distort it be-
fore it Was made public. but it was too
true q statement of the Wretchedness
which they wanted to persecute. This
accounts for General Buffers resigua-
tion of the Under Secretaryship: and
under the circumstances it should not
excite wonder that Bloody Balfour was
only too eager 10 accept it.

MICHAEL DAvITr has two column
letter in the Irish World of last week
that will we'll repay perusal. Mr. Dav-
itt is one of the most logical reasoner5
Of the Irish leaders His extended ref
erence to the association composed Of
landlords, which has recently been
formed in Dublin, is not by any means
the least interesting portion Of his ex-
cellent letter. lie draws attention to
the fact that this association was being
formed on the very day when Parlis;-
ment confirmed. by majority OF vs.
votes, the Lord Lieuteuant's proclama-
tion of the National League. The CO.
incidence WAS remarkable one, in.
deed. 1t has given rise to the thought
that if it is illegal cor the tenants to
combine for their mutual protection,
why is it not equally unlawful for the
landlords TO combine 50 that they may
harrass the life cut Of the poor tenants.
However, the Tories make one law for
the rich and another for the poor, al
though for that matter, 1t might be
said, if all accounts be true, the land
lords at the present time are not rolling
in the lap Of luxury.

GRATTAN AND PARNELL.

Mr.. E. Dwyer Gray, member of Par
lament and editor of the Dublil Free
man Journal, makes the following in
teresting comparisons between Henry
Grattan and Charles Stuart Parnel]
through the editorial columns of his
paper:
Following are striking condolences
of date ard fact: Grattan was born in
1746 Parnell exactly a century later.
Grattan entered the Irish Parliament
in l775; Parnell took his seat in the
House of Commons in 1875.
SIN 1910 was established that body
led by Grattan which enabled him to
achieve legislative Independence, while
in 1870 was founded that organization
Of which Psrnel is leader, and which
bids fair to enable him also to regain
legislative Independence. The free
dom of Dublin was presented to Graf
tau, and exactly a century later the
same compliment was conferred oa Par
nell. Both were Protestants. Grattan
attached himself to Fox, who visited
Ireland in 177S; Parnell to Gladstone,
who visited Ireland in 1873.
"a golden tribute from a grateful
people was presented to both. Grattan
bought an estate in Queen IS county, the
stronghold of the Parne]ls, but chose
his home in County Wicklow, whittier
Charles Stuart Parnell's grandfather
had migrated and also fixed his resi-
dence-Grattan at Tinnehinch, Parnell
at AvonGale. In 1850 Grattan S declar-
alton of Irssh rights was 6erce}y at
tackled by the government, and so also
was Parnell's programme In 1880 by
means of state prosecution.
'Both were intended for the bar III
youth, but neither had taste for the
profession. A base effort was made TO
implicate Grattan III the reasonable
plots of his time, and failed; the same
remark applies to Parnell."

SOME time ago one Of the daily papers
of this city suggested the opening OF
the Exposition Art Gallery Oh Sundays.
This has given rise to considerable
criticism and comment, and the sug-
gestion is condemned by great many
Of our citizens. THE reasons advanced
for the opening of the art gallery on
SUNDAYS are not sufficient. we believe
to convince any on that such course
would result in the benefit Of anybody.
Everybody takes an interest in the
Minneapolis Exposition, but at the
same time over and above everything
the management has no right to carry
on business when every other business
place in the city is closed up. Another
good reason why it should not be kept
open On Sunday: is that the manage
ment would be breaking faith with the
directors who signed an agreement
when the enterprise was first started
that the Exposition should he
My kept open Oh working days.
1t has been stated that Sunday is the
only day which the worklngman can
afford to visit the Exposition, This is
all nonsense. While the art collection
is admittedly good, we doubt very much
if any person would care about going to
see it alone. If ne has got to spend one
night to see the Exposition, he could
equally as we'll devote any other even
ing to viewing the art collection as on
Sunday. Besides there are many who
now take deep interest in the Minnea-
polls Exposition, and who nave lent
their aid to assist it in many ways who,
from religious or other motives might
withdraw their support, and thus injure
the enterprise very considerably. We
hope the management will consult their
good sense in. this matter and abstain
from opening the art gall lery on sunday

Our assertion Of last week, that when

defend his rights, has been verified i'll
tlle instance OF their noble behavior at
NEitchelltoWu last week. They did not
quail before the constsb!es' fufions Oh
slaught, and for this they are receiving
tbe congrat,ll:atiou Of the civilized
world. The disgraceful scene also at
fords furtEev evidence Of the bluider-
ing po,icy OF Lord Salisbury and those
under jl;ra who have undertaken to
rule ireland }y iawp if applied iii the
palmjestt ;iays Of slavery would ba con-
si<iered outrageous. The tinla, il there
aver was such q time, when the people
OF Ireland could be jntiusldated by
rifles and hayoneys ia The hands CT
British bulldogs has passed into oOll
WON, aud the British aristocracy and
the illegitjmate DESCENDANTS Of las
ciyious nlonarchs should remember
that they have no longer TO deal with
men who will refrain from using any
weapon that circumstance may throw
III their way i'll order to defend their
rights. The circumstances OF tbs
MitchelItoNn trouble briefly stated are
as follows: X meeting was held last
Friday to protest against the action Of
the Government in issuing q Warrant
for the arrest Of Nfr. William O'Brlen.
hr. l,aboachere anal others made
speeches. OF course the police and
military had to be called upon to men-
ace the people. They charged upon the
meeting, but " ere repulsed by the peo-
pie. Ihe police obtained reinforce
alents, returned to the scene and fired
p vol]ey into the crowd, the result OF
which was the killing ct two men in
stantly, while others were severely
wounded. Mr. Labouchere, as every
body knows, is net an Irishman, there
fore, he cannot be accused Of prejudice
In giving his optimism as to the causes ct
the trouble. In his speech III the Brit
ish House Of Commons last Monday
night he stated that the whole blame
rested on The police, He held the chief
constable aud the resident magistrate
responsible, and accused them Both OF
deliberate murder. Mr.. Gladstone be-
lieves the same thing. In the face Of
such uninpeachaDle authority what
has The Tory Government to offer in ex-
tenuation Of the action OF its police :?
Nothing!
We believe that very little can be
gained by submitting any longer to the
whims and prejudices Of the British
aristocracy. The Tories have thrown
down the gauntlet: lot Irishmen jump
into the arena and pick it up with a
vengeance worthy Of their cause. If
they submit any longer to the system
attic outrages Of Dublin Castle govern
anent they will lose the sympathy Of
those who are friendly to. them at the
present time. BY contestfng for their
rights, at the point Of the bayonet, If
necessary, they will make friends for
Ghe Irish cause. The Tories have used
every means at their command to bring
about this conflict, and in manner
that would place Ireland in a false
light. They desired TO make Ireland
appearito he in a terrible state Of law y
Lessness. Failing in this they have
come aa1i true olors.

BosToN, Feb. l3
Thi. morning the South Boston railroad
sent out two cars from the South Boston
stables and a round trip was made without
incident. The third was the first to exper-
ience d fIiculty. When it reached f street
on Broadway a crowd of 2500 men and boys
had collected. The car was heavily loaded
and the horses were stopped at the foo; OF
the hill to rest. Immediately the mob
swarmed about it and the few policemen II
present were almost powerless. Pieces OF
iron were wedged into the car wheels an !
the horses were made frantic by the yells of
the crowd which was rapidly warming up TO
assaulting point. During the melee lad
named Conners threw stone whl h crashed
through window, but did no further dam
age The crowd brgan to make serious
move toward the driver and conductor. AT
this moment strong body of the reserve po-
lice force and Is mounted officers arrived and
by vigorous use Of clubs dispersed the mob
and the car proceeded. Acting under advice
of the police commissioners no more cars
were run during the day. The utility of the
police signal system was fully demonstrated,
a. within l5 minutes after the trouble begun
tbe streets were cleared aud five minutes
further delay would have caused bloodshed.
The following proposition comes from the
directors of the South Boston Railroad Co.
70 its employees now on strike for a settle
ment of the pending difficulty.
1.-The men are to work on the time table
now in force, with one trip on Dover street
